It always seems to show up on Throwback Thursday - is someone there an bitter Spice Girls fan trying to push "Stop" to 1+ million sales or something to make up for missing the top spot?

Haha! If that was the case, their efforts would be in vain, because Thursday Spotify data isn't used by Official Charts. (They work out the average of a song's streams achieved from Friday to Wednesday, to forecast what it's Thursday streams would be - so none of the Throwback Thursday songs ever benefit from their boost).

Its inclusion on TBT has lead to Stop moving from their 5th most popular song to their 3rd though. *.*

Who Do You Think You Are is another popular Throwback Thursday choice, I've seen that included three times this year.

2 Become 1 really is an honorary Christmas classic, love to hear/see it at this time of year. Hopefully a Christmas #1 themed playlist becomes prominent on Spotify so 2B1/Too Much/Goodbye all achieve a good streaming boost.

Great increase! At this rate, 2 Become 1 will overtake Say You'll Be There's total streams by 27th December.

If 2 Become 1 continued to achieve the same average daily stream count, then it would be on course to overtake Spice Up Your Life by 20th January. Say You'll Be There might overtake Spice Up Your Life sometime in May, and both could have crossed over 25m streams by then.

Wannabe's getting very close to 200m+, it should manage that within the first fortnight of 2018! It passed 100m on 3rd August 2016, so that'll mean it's taken just 17 months to double that. It's incredibly good for such an old song! I'm not sure how many songs released before this decade have managed 200m+ on Spotify. I know TLC's No Scrubs is slightly ahead overall (195,736,110 across four versions with different lengths, main is on 193,760,845). Wannabe is currently on 194,442,481 with one version.
